Senator Orrin Hatch a Pirate?
Stigmata669 writes "Remember a few days ago when Senator Orrin Hatch decided that software piracy was punishable by destruction of computers? Well a bored and unemployed Sys. Admin in Houston smelled a rat when he was rooting through Hatch's website source. As it turns out Sen. Hatch is a common software pirate himself."
Yeah, you hypocritical scum!
Anyone want to say something intelligent instead of making stupid comments that only ruin it for others?
They're trashing our rights!! They're trashing the flow of data
Hmm. I just have a problem with someone charging $900 for JavaScript code that is easily viewable by almost any visitor to a site. It's common practice to steal bits of HTML and JavaScript, so I'm surprised people would get so annoyed when they try to sell code for use on the Web..
he stole JAVASCRIPT and I'm supposed to care?
Nobody insults you because you're a woman, they insult you because only an egotistical bitch would point out that they are a mensa member in their sig. Also, dmitry wrote software for reading pdf's, he didn't pirate anything, orrin hatch on the other hand (actually his web developers, i seriously doubt he could even create a site in frontpage) is very clearly using pirated software.
The heads of CEO/Caldera are mormon, so are their lawyers, so is the judge hearing the case. Senator Hatch is a mormon. Is there some kind of Mormon conspiracy to change the landscape of digital freedoms in the U.S.?
Just a thought...
they don't hate you cuz you're a woman, they hate you because you're an arrogant, stuck up, retarded bitch. Honestly, no one cares that you are in MENSA, so stop acting like you are above everyone else because of it. Hey, guess what, I'm in MENSA too! Does that mean I have any actual grasp of the world around me or that I am better than anyone else? HELL NO! It means that I was able to mentally assemble a 3d cube and predict the pattern. Furthermore, "You're not a Mensa member, are you? Oh, wait, you are. It should have been obvious to me." was an INSULT, he was commenting on your arrogant and stuck up attitude. It's people like you that make me glad I'm still alive, to counter act all the stupidity you excrete into the world.
YOU SUCK BALLS!
Senator Hatch is eating his own dogfood on this one. However, this is just the perfect his excuse for the GSA to purchase a super dooper nice system from Dell at an extreme overpriced rate for U.S. Senators. :-/
If you want all that move to another country.
War is necrophilia.
As if Raygun ever had a thought in his pretty little head either...
...or because Bill Clinton smoked weed once. Nobody is defined in any single instant.
;-) to people less fortunate in life?
It's not him smoking weed once, it's him maintaining the whole "War on Drugs" policy AND making non-violent people serve time in jail for what he himself did... Same with the whole "political correctness" thing, I'd never mind him fscking all the subordinate girls silly, but what right did he have to support denying the same "rights"
Proud to be a Libertarian in heart (though I can not vote for them, not a citizen of the US of A.)

Hatch could sodomize young boys on primetime television while singing L'Internationale and still be reelected easily.
As long as he doesn't criticize the Mormon cult^H^H^H^Hchurch.

D'oh, you've changed my mind. So now I think he's a flarging senile idiot instead of just an asshole (seriously). This gives me an interesting new perspective I hadn't thought of. It also strengthens my case for Eugenics. Get rid of the old, they're just holding us back with their outdated ideas. (~%75 joke, %25 serious)
> I just got done writing him a letter and submitting it through his site. Here it is:...
/. geek would actually write a well-thought-out letter (supporting a republican, no less). I spit on the backside of your monitor (ew, I spit on my own screen...). I will not wipe it off until you make a goatse.cx link or rant nonsensically about which Linux Distro is best.
Frankly I am appalled. No self-respecting
